标 题: Sarah Palin's happiness is what really irks liberals
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed Nov 17 14:19:10 2010, 美东)
This past weekend, I traveled to Chicago to speak at the Conservatives4Palin
meetup, where Mama Grizzlies, Palinistas and "ordinary barbarians," as she'
s now taken to calling her followers, gathered to hear speeches, talk about
conservative issues, celebrate a hypothetical Palin 2012 campaign and
generally worship at the altar of Sarah Palin.
At one point during the program, Palin made a surprise phone call to the
group, patched through one of the organizer's cell phones and played over a
loudspeaker. The room burst into spontaneous applause and frenzied yelping
as she launched into a warm and cheery 20-minute "thanks for all your hard
work" chat.
I returned to New York from the Chicago gathering to find Palin again, not
in my ear but on my television screen, bouncing gleefully around Alaska on
her new TLC documentary series, "Sarah Palin's Alaska." She and Todd (her "
neat husband," as Phyllis Schlafly put it recently) went fishing, rock
climbing and bear spotting in between appearing on Fox News and ducking from
their nosy new neighbor, who moved in just to write about Alaska's former
first family.
It seems everyone wants a piece of Palin these days. Some are fans, some are
hostile foes. But regardless, we just can't stop talking about her. Will
there ever be a time when we decide that we've figured her out and there's
nothing else to say?
And then it hit me. The reason Palin has become such a lightening rod, a
kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It'
s because she's so gosh darn happy.
For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she's
refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was
always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on.
But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than
a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured
conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some. And without
anyone's help.
Sure, she'll tell you that Todd, her parents and her children are an
invaluable support system. But after eight years of hearing that George W.
Bush was a nepotism experiment gone wrong, Sarah Palin has made it here (
wherever this is) on her own. John McCain's imprimatur certainly launched
her into the national spotlight, but she became the youngest and first
female governor of Alaska all on her own.
How dare she?
Liberalism, after all, needs to imagine an unhappy populace. Passing
sweeping entitlement programs and convincing voters that big government is
the answer only works if people are frustrated with their stations in life.
Thus Palin is a real threat to front-office operations.
And Sarah Palin, more than almost any other public political figure,
represents the "can do" rugged individualism and self-reliance that liberals
fear most. She's not just running her household. She ran her state! And in
her new documentary series, we see that independent streak clear as glacier
water. Whether she's casting for salmon or scaling the rockface at Denali,
she's smiling - and just won't quit.
It isn't the angry, antiquated feminism of a Barbara Boxer. Or the pushy
defiance of a Nancy Pelosi, who refuses to go quietly into that dark night.
Or even the brash "I can make you regret being born" argumentativeness of an
Ann Coulter.
It's the kind of ambition that comes from confidence in her convictions and
the security of knowing that no matter what happens to her in the press, she
's got a happy home life and everything she needs to survive in the wild -
the Washington wild, that is.
If Palin's critics really want her to go away, they don't have to worry
about her politics, her faith or her folksy rhetoric. They need to worry
about her boundless happiness which, like her favorite hunting weapon, is
poised to be a warm gun for anyone who dares cross her path.

发帖数: 619 | 2 这是一个右翼政治评论员写的文章，我并不完全认同其观点。但是文中说到SARAH
PALIN 坚强独立、无忧无虑的乐天性格，倒是让我向往了好久。抛开政治观点不谈，
SARAH PALIN 是一个户外运动高手，打猎钓鱼攀岩样样精通，整个一御姐，还是
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY 的御姐。
有时在想，是不是自己太过CYNICAL，思虑太重，因而不快乐？即使能探知对方的内心
，找到对方自己可能都没有明白的潜意识，又能怎么样？Ignorance is a bliss. | a*******u

Barbara Bush to Sarah Palin: Stay in Alaska
By Holly Bailey
It looks like Barbara Bush isn't a huge fan of Sarah Palin. In an interview
set to air Monday, the former First Lady tells CNN's Larry King that she
thinks Palin should stay in Alaska.
"I sat next to her once. Thought she was beautiful," Bush said. "And she's
very happy in Alaska, and I hope she'll stay there." | a*******u

Sarah 投了共和党，可惜了。

支持同性婚姻的马坎老婆，去年表态支持同婚的布什老婆。sarah palin？还是算了吧
，就留在alaska爬爬山挺好。

发帖数: 619 | 9 呵呵，Sarah 被 Barbara Walters 采访，被问是否觉得自己可以在2012年击败奥巴马
，Sarah 自信满满地说：“我相信能。”
没心没肺地乐天，承诺张口就来，不管怎么样先将胸脯拍得山响（能不能实现以后再说
）-- 看着倒不象水瓶，倒有点象白羊。当然星座之说，只是茶余饭后的消遣，人不能

她就是一极端保守，利欲熏心，抓住一切机会上位的潜在恐同分子。共和党很适合她，
不对，共和党对她来说，都太偏左了。

我最近到美国一个很有名的高校面试工作， 就彻底被那所谓的liberal 给雷到了。她
办公室里有和女权活动家Gloria Steinem的合影, 我甚至认为她也是LES，但是实在是
缺乏职业素养， 一副自以为是的样子， 说出的话听着就别扭，尤其关于中国的一些观
点， 真想抽她。可以说是arrogant + self-righteous. 所以有些liberal 也一样让人
非常讨厌， 虽然支持同性恋。 | m******1

发帖数: 623 | 14 Sarah Palin给我的印象是个religious nuts，而且智商和教育程度不一定比小bush高
明多少，这种人的特点就是，做坏事，错事都能做得满腔满肺沸腾的正义感。
不否认她个人魅力出众，但历史上也不乏这种身居高位的人，做事倒行逆施的，破坏力
巨大。 |
